Everyone's Talkin' Money

Which camp are you in? Money can buy happiness or money can’t buy happiness? I grew up hearing that money can’t buy happiness, but then I saw everyone in my life push hard to make money, hold on tight to money, and not always enjoy money so that all got a bit confusing. Our guest, Jason Vitug, author of the new book Happy Money Happy Life, A Multidimensional Approach to Health, Wealth and Financial Freedom and founder of phroogal.com, believes that money isn’t everything, but it does impact most everything in our lives. So how do you find the balance and put money in its place? In this episode, we’re going to shatter some long-held money beliefs about happiness that just don’t work anymore. Jason also shares why money can buy happiness with a little perspective, how to unlearn all of these false money beliefs, and his unique approach to creating happy money and happy life.

What does a rich life look like? Our guest, Scarlett Cochran, founder of One Big Happy Life and author of the new book, It’s Not About The Money: A Proven Path to Building Wealth and Living the Rich Life Your Deserve, argues that a rich life has to be about more than the amount of money you have, the car you drive, and the house you live in. A rich life starts by asking yourself some powerful questions. Armed with the answers to those questions, you can then start to fill in the money part. And the best part about building a rich life is that it can look like whatever you want. The problem is you are so used to defining your life by your money when instead it just needs to be the other way around. How about we dive into this all with Scarlett and talk about what she calls the 3 purposes of money, what is getting in the way of us living a rich life, and we’ll ponder the idea that once you reach $75,000 in income you’ve hit your happiness peak. Alright, here’s to you living your best rich life.LINKSIt's Not About the Money bookOne Big Happy LifeSPONSORSThanks to HelloFresh for sponsoring this show.

At this point, who knows if we’re actually in a recession, and how big that recession might actually be. But that doesn’t change the fact that Wall Street is on pins and needles and the stock market has seen a fair share of ups and downs in the last 6 months. According to the Wall Street Journal, Despite signs that inflation has started to recede, economists still expect higher interest rates to push the U.S. economy into a recession in the coming year. On average, business and academic economists polled by the Journal put the probability of a recession in the next 12 months at 61%. What I really wanted to know, and my guess is you do too, is what in the world should you do with your investments in a recession. I called in Money’s Investing Editor, Mallika Mitra to weigh in on how you should be thinking about investing this year, tips to move past fear-based investing, what percentage of your paycheck should you be investing with, and why are women handling the stock market twists and turns better than men. It’s fascinating. LINKSMoneyInvesting With MoneySPONSORSThanks to ShipStation for sponsoring the show.

What does it take to live an abundant life? That feels like a pie-in-the-sky question to ask, but I want you to just entertain the thought for a moment. What does abundance look like to you? While money might be the first thing that pops into your head, I challenge you to think about abundance not simply as a dollar amount, but as a way that you want to live your life - what you want to do, where you want to work, how you want to spend your time and how you want to feel. I’ve been super interested in this idea of abundance and how to bring what you want to do in life into reality so I turned to the abundance expert herself, Cathy Heller. You may know Cathy from her super popular podcast, The Cathy Heller Podcast, or her book, Don’t Keep Your Day Job. Cathy believes that creating true abundance is about this simple formula - your mindset plus action. As Cathy says, “it all starts with optimism. You have to feel a level of possibility for the things you want to do in life and that starts with a vision and the thoughts you have around that vision.” This episode is a joy explosion full of Cathy’s inspiring words and practical steps to help you start walking in abundance this year. I hope you’re ready.LINKSThe Cathy Heller PodcastMost Abundant Year WorkshopSPONSORSThanks to ShipStation for sponsoring the show.

Want to know what the biggest budget buster is almost unanimously…it’s the money you spend eating out. We all know that January is always a time when you’re trying to figure out how to do a lot of things differently, maybe even better. And money, of course, is always at the top of the list. It’s been said that the only two ways to better your money situation are to 1) earn more, or 2) spend less. Easier said than done for sure. But I thought it was time to dive into eating out to understand why we all love to eat out and do it no matter how loud our bank accounts are yelling at us not to. Our guest, Katherine Spiers is the host of the Smart Mouth Podcast and a food history expert. Katherine believes the why behind eating out is simple…we’re all just plain exhausted. In this super fun episode, we talk about the history of eating out, how car culture lead to the fast food explosion and how that revolutionized how much money we spend eating out, and other fascinating trends in eating out that will give you some good trivia questions at your next dinner party. If you love eating out as much as I do, you’ll love this episode. Let’s start talkin’. LINKSSmart Mouth PodcastHow To Eat LASPONSORSThanks to ShipStation for sponsoring the show.
